Dear CD and Hinotori
It feels great to finally be back into the board (was totally helpless during the blackout, this was not ordinary blackout we were talking about, it was something like 10 hours blackout in a day for 1 week,
 )
Anyway, have really started the Gatchaman marathon, and yes, Hinotori, at one point I only realised that I really had to go to bed after I heard the sound of the morning paper being delivered to my house at 5 AM. Thank God my DH is always a heavy sleeper, he would be livid if he knew about it,
Well, got to go back to my Gatchaman marathon, sigh, wish that someone could help me to tackle this obsession.

Saturn, it is nice to have you back - and I must also say I am a little jealous! I wish I had the entire set before me to ruin my sleep and my relationships! You need a battery-powered dvd player for blackout days!
I am renting the dvds from netflix so I watch the five eps on the disc, pop it in the mail and two days later I get another disc. I am half way through the series because I can't always get to the disc every day. It's killing me, because there are things I can't remember or want to see again so I am going to have to start all over again as soon as I am done! |

Dear GoGirl
Yup, it's nice to be back here with you all who definitely can relate to my obsession,
I still think you are quite lucky because you have companies like Netflix at your place which provide DVDs rental for you. There are no such businesses in my place, all anime are usually for straight purchase and not for rent, and the selling price is not very cheap too. It could be a problem if the anime you have purchased was later found not to be very exciting at all, and to think that you have wasted so much money on it,
It didn't help that most anime shop owners at my place are only familiar with the most current anime. When I tried to order Gatchaman last time,the shop owner was very confused and clueless that I had to borrow my friend's laptop to show the images of Gatchaman, and even asked him to memorise the theme song of Gatchaman (because I didn't want him to confuse Gatchaman with BOTP or G-Force versions).Well, the positive thing from this is that now the shop owner is also an avid Gatchamaniac like I am,
I really love my Gatchaman DVDs, the picture quality is flawless, the only drawback is that they are the dubbed versions, and sometimes the voice actors speak unclearly or so quickly that my DH, my brother, and cousins couldn't really catch up with the dialogue. It is fine for me, but sometimes I really feel tired of having to translate almost every dialogue for them.
They also hated it when I skipped episodes as I wished and jumped to episodes that only I wanted to watch.They just don't understand that I am an obsessive shipper and usually I like to focus on episodes that will have the "shipper moments" between a certain two characters.
I know, I know, I am a hopeless romantic!!!

Dear TJ
Thank you so much for your sweet message, I have also missed you all in the board.
I have been unable to go online for almost 2 weeks already due to some technical problems in my ISP, and the problem is still not solved until now,
Thank God I have my Gatchaman DVDs to "distract" me from this problem for a while because actually I am an Internet junkie and for me going online everyday is as essential as working or eating,
I don't know why, but I just had a hunch today that I really needed to check on Gatchamania's board to catch up with the latest topics. So off I went to an Internet cafe, and what do you know,there were actually messages for me. Talk about strange coincidence,
I wonder if the ISO was behind this, had we all in the board been mysteriously implanted with chips in our minds for telephatic communication just like our beloved birdies in Gatch Fighter?,
